This is an email to let you all know what’s happening. As you all are aware, Justine is 21 weeks and has been bed bound with some bleeding and such. This changed on Wednesday night, Thursday morning. She had a pretty large bleed, we called the ambulance and presto changeo, she is now in hospital and not allowed to come home. Not until the bleeding has stopped anyway. Scary stuff.

Just before you all have kittens, she is fine, the wee fella is fine also. According to the 58231 scans that we have had, he is growing, kicking, watching tv, just like he should be. The blood is mostly Justine’s, which although is not good, she can at least get transfusions if required.

The boys are finding it difficult, stuck at home with only me for conversation. I tell you, as far as “Mr Mom” skills go, I’m no Justine. They will cope tho, once they get used to pizza and beer. No wonder they miss their mum…

All that being said, it has not been too hard, mostly due to the help that Justine’s friends and family have provided/ are still providing. I would list them, but there are limits on how big an email I’m allowed to send. So, I will simply state the obvious : Thank you.

So, there you go. If you want to talk to her, she is in “Ward 4 North”, bed 20. In the new part of the hospital. Go up the orange lift to level 4, turn right, then left, then ask at the desk. Her mobile is : 021 2679039.
